In your favorite Nigerian websites, we noticed that Nigerian webmasters are looking for good channels to use to promote their websites. So we have decided to start a Nigerian Website Directory for our users. Please use this thread to submit your websites for inclusion into our directory, which is currently being compiled.

Requirements for Submitted Websites- They must be run either by Nigerians, in Nigeria, or for Nigerians.- They must be completed, or at least at beta (public testing) stage.- The sites must be of medium to high quality. They must be worth the time of the average visitor.- Each submitted site should be on it's own domain, with a few exceptions.

To submit any useful Nigerian website, simply compile the following information:- The address (URL) of the website.- A short description of the website (1 sentence to 2 paragraphs).and then post it on this page (recommended) or send to me by PM or email (not recommended!).

Please help us build the best Nigerian web directory ever; a directory of Nigerian Websites Worth Visiting. Remember, the website you submit doesn't have to be yours but you're encouraged to submit yours, too. Both personal and commercial websites are accepted.

Visit del.icio.us/nairaland to see where we are storing the links which will be used to build our website directory. Strictly copyrighted, all rights reserved! If you have a del.icio.us account, you can also submit links by adding your site to your account with the tag "nwd". So there are a variety of ways to submit a website to our directory!

Real Estate Agents and Firms have separate usernames and passwords to upload and update their properties themselves including adding pictures.

http://www.ip4hotels.com - one of the newest projects by the Product Development Team at (http://www.darwin.com.ng). This is an online CATALOGUE of the hotels in Nigeria. The system offers visitors the opportunity to see what the facilities of the hotels are before making contact. There are no facilities to book online because we have visited many of the hotels and would recommend that clients always call to confirm availability. The system allows you to send an emails to the hotels but please call as well! Many of the hotels do not read their emails regularly!

http://www.cubichomes.com (client site) - a Nigerian owned and operated construction company based in Abuja. Innovative building system with a track record of projects to show for it. One of the few companies that do not just claim innovation. This company has also invested heavily in a factory in Abuja and hire and train Nigerian staff to work with the technology.

http://www.datingcycle.com (client site) - Not just another dating website. This aim is to help people through the phases of relationship building and courtship, something most sites try to do with a database! The human touch is the secret to sucess for datingcycle.com. With frequent seminars, books and a constant stream of advise articles the site is certainly worth a visit. A Nigerian Relationship and dating advice centre.

http://www.kolaakomolede.com (client site) - Kola Akomolede & Co, one of the top real estate companies in Nigeria. The Principal Partner Chief Kola Akomolede is a Fellow of the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers. They update the pictures and details of properties on their site regularly, making it informative. This site also gets uodated through the http://www.ip4properties.com advert manager.

http://www.purefoto.com (client site/adminsitered by Darwin) - This is simply a Nigerian events site but the events are captured in pictures. It will also be a place where you can download flyers for events. For event promoters it is a cheaper way to distribute your flyers if they are accepted.

We have numerous other clients and we will be adding their details here soon.

This thread was started in August 2005 and we have just 1 month to go round a full year, yet no online directory is in sight.

If it takes more than 11 months to get information for a directory, how long will it take for the the directory to be published and more importantly, how long will it take for business owners to edit or change information concerning their listings?

Let this online project not become like one of the promises of the FG. Things are supposed to be easy online.
